Notes: "Inspired by a 1570 Ortelius atlas ... The prints are on Rives BFK and are hinged with rice paper.  Pop-up elements are made from Canson.  The vintage stamps and compasses were found. There are 30 copies"--Colophon.
Bound in 1 cm. wooden boards with a black leather spine.  Boards are painted to look like maps; upper board has a compass embedded in its center.
